The little California city of Los Altos Hills is no stranger to luxury real estate. Located just a short drive from the headquarters of Facebook, Google, and hundreds of promising young startups, this tony town is where you shop for real estate once you’ve cashed in precious equity and made it big.

The median listing price in this exclusive enclave? $3.2 million.

So it wasn’t a huge shock to find the week’s most expensive new listing on realtor.com® in Los Altos Hills. The home originally hit the market in late 2015 for a head-spinning $88 million. The owners relisted the property this week, after dropping the price to $68 million.

The 8-acre property (an extremely rare parcel size in Silicon Valley) includes a 22,000-square-foot main house with five bedrooms, seven baths, and five half-baths, and a 1,064-square-foot “executive center,” for millionaires who want to work from home in style.

Inside, there’s a swimming pool and spa, with a swim-up bar and retractable roof. Guests won’t go thirsty, either: The home has a 3,000-bottle wine cellar, complete with an indoor waterfall.
